What if the part of you you’re afraid to let out is actually your greatest power? In this episode, I share how the “good girl” in me was burned at the stake — and how the Dark Moon Priestess rose from her ashes.

Most of the ways you've been taught to do shadow work will actually keep you stuck in the same old loops for years on end. You journal, you reflect, you pull tarot cards, you analyze your astrology chart — but nothing in your real life actually changes.Even when you have a lot of self-awareness and understand where your shadows come from, if you're approaching this work only intellectually, and not moving your shadows out of your body or making changes in your real daily life... you're going to stay stuck. In this episode, you’ll discover why that happens — and what to do instead.You’ll learn:✨ The three phases of shadow work (and why you get trapped in phase two of understanding)✨ Why awareness and understanding aren’t enough to shift your subconscious patterns✨ How to reclaim your shadows instead of trying to fix or heal yourselfI’ll also share my own stories of reclaiming shadows like anger, anxiety, and “neediness” in my relationships — and how you can do the same in your own life.💫 If you’re ready to stop looping on the same shadows and finally take your power back, join me inside The Reclamation — my 8-week immersive program to reclaim your shadows, liberate your power, and live with unapologetic purpose + pleasure.

In this episode, I'm sharing my very personal stories of coming out as a witch, as polyamorous, and as bisexual - and how each new layer of authenticity that I've uncovered has led me closer and closer to the goddess within. We're talking about what goddess work is - and what it isn't. Did you know that you can practice goddess work... without every worshipping or even working with a goddess directly? You absolutely CAN and I'm sharing lots of ideas for rituals to help you connect with goddess energy, including my own personal goddess practices. But what goddess work is truly about is softening into beauty, opening your heart to receiving, releasing shame around pleasure and rest, and honoring your truest desires and authentic self. ---You'll learn all about these topics, how to work with specific goddesses, and reconnecting to pleasure without shame at the free Goddess Within Summit, happening April 28-30, 2025!

Jill and I talked about her journey into working with tarot as an intuitive, but also reflective tool. She shared about some of her own practices with tarot as a wonderful support in "present-telling" - really being in the present moment and reflecting on your current circumstances, rather than anxiously living in the potential future. Jill also dispelled some common misconceptions about tarot.

Lorriane and I have been witchy friends and colleagues for many years and often find ourselves on parallel spiritual journeys. In the episode, Lorriane and I chat about our own spiritual practices and how they have evolved over the years, how sometimes skipping rituals can be more mindful and present than pushing through or going through the motions, and how to adapt the cycles of nature like the Wheel of the Year to suit your own needs. Lorriane also shared a really interesting and useful reframe of the Wheel of the Year, not just as seasonal festivals at specific times of year but as expressions of powerful human emotions that we might experience or tap into even in the "wrong" season, (such as tapping into the grief of Samhain in spring or summer.)
